Could the Janitor Monk have saved Hung 7 Gung and Au Yeung Fung from dying?

[Ken Cheng]

In DGSD, the Janitor Monk famously "killed" (actually sent into a deep, death-like coma) Siu Yeun San and Mo Yung Bok; the Janitor Monk casually sent the two mighty warriors to death's door, then just as easily brought them back. This was a unique feat in the Jin Yong canon that is one of the prime examples of why the Janitor Monk is considered the supreme power in the Jin Yong wuxia universe.

What if the Janitor Monk had been present on Mt. Hua during ROCH on the day that North Beggar Hung 7 Gung and West Poison Au Yeung Fung killed each other? If the Janitor Monk were there just moments before Hung 7 Gung and Au Yeung Fung took their last breaths, could he have saved their lives with his incredible powers?

i don't think the 'feat' was that remarkable. it showed off his knowledge about the body and medicine, and the level of his skills that two of the best experts in DGSD couldn't avoid his strikes. he hit their accupoints to send them into unconcious which may experts can do. he just hit the vital accupoints with the right force so it wasn't lethel, and he rived them with his qi. other's have done it to. just not to his level. what happened to HQG and OYF was different. they had exhasuted their inner power and damaged their inner organs by overexherting their qi. if they got a big transfusion of chi, their lifes may be prolonged till they recovered from their injuries, so janitor monk may have been able to save them.
